Sean Payton and Aaron Rodgers can team up for these 3 franchises

NFL rumors: What’s stopping the Saints from Aaron Rodgers trade?
Yes, Dennis Allen is currently the New Orleans Saints head coach and they’ve committed to him beyond this season. I am not blind to that fact.
However, Allen is not Sean Payton. The veteran head coach knows this roster because he helped built it. He could also easily come back to New Orleans without any interested party — such as Denver and more — forfeiting a draft pick. Whether it’s head coach or a front office role, Payton with the Saints makes far more sense than any other potential destination. Payton’s football mind is an asset. Don’t let it escape the team facility.
As for Rodgers, that’s an easier task. New Orleans does have draft picks to deal Green Bay’s way, and that’ll likely be what it takes to get a deal done. In this case, the Packers would be ready to move on to the Jordan Love era and surround him with talent.
A package of perhaps two first-round picks and some mid-round selections would be enough to land the Saints their quarterback of the present, and make them instant contenders in the NFC South.
